Animated Media Content and the Papageno Effect
Suicide-related media portrayals can exert both harmful and protective effects on suicide-related outcomes, with the Papageno effect describing suicide-preventive influences of coping-oriented portrayals. Adult animated series have largely been absent from research, despite animation's popularity and its distinctive capacity to externalize psychological states, rendering experiences of mental health crises and recovery particularly accessible to …
Content analysis of Austrian and German newspaper coverage of terrorist attacks in light of recommendations for reporting on mass shootings
Media coverage of terrorist attacks can have harmful effects on public mental health. Media recommendations for reporting on mass shootings have been developed, which also appear relevant to coverage of terrorist attacks. However, it remains unclear whether journalists adhere to them. The authors investigated the quality of N = 1,909 articles about nine terrorist attacks in Western Europe between 2016–2020 published in Austrian and German daily n…
Media portrayals of assisted suicide before, during, and after legalization changes
This content analysis revealed distinct patterns in media reporting on AS and showed that reports were less aligned with media guidelines than previous analyses on non-assisted suicide. Some patterns identified across all time periods, particularly tendencies to stigmatize or romanticize AS before the legislation, likely reflect polarized public attitudes, which warrant attention in education efforts. This research highlights the importance of sp…
Popular music and the Papageno effect
Media portrayals of overcoming suicidal crises can beneficially contribute to suicide prevention, a phenomenon termed the Papageno effect. The present study ( N = 322) is the first to utilize an experimental design to investigate the possible suicide-preventive impact of popular music. The participants listened either to three songs with explicit suicide-preventive messages (intervention group) or three matched songs from the same artists without…
Exploring media responses to terrorist attacks
This study investigates the types of mitigation strategies discussed in news reports about terrorist attacks (TAs) in German and Austrian newspapers, examining the differences between security- and surveillance-related (SSR) and restrictive migration-control strategies versus community-bonding and deradicalization strategies. A content analysis of N = 1514 articles on nine TAs in Western Europe since 2016 examines which characteristics of the att…
Social media influencers and the Papageno effect
The media can elicit detrimental and beneficial effects on suicide-related outcomes. Although the bulk of the available evidence focuses on detrimental imitative effects, more recent studies have also investigated the media's preventive potential, especially when focusing on stories of hope, healing, and recovery. Previous studies on this suicide-protective impact, termed the Papageno effect, have often focused on legacy media, such as newspapers…
The Role of the Narrative in Educative Suicide Awareness Materials
There has been a debate about the suitability of different narratives in educative suicide prevention materials. Whereas some suicide prevention experts recommend raising awareness of suicide by highlighting its prevalence, others argue that this approach may normalize suicide and advocate focusing on help resources instead. Unfortunately, empirical evidence regarding this question is lacking. This randomized controlled trial aimed to test the im…

The Impact of Educative News Articles about Suicide Prevention
Media stories featuring stories of personal experiences of coping with suicidal ideation have been shown to decrease suicide risk, but it is unclear whether more impersonal awareness materials have similar effects. This study aimed to test the impact of impersonal educative news articles featuring interviews with suicide prevention experts. Because the impact of news articles may be determined by the articles’ pull quotes and headlines, we also a…
A Pilot Case-Control Study of the Social Media Activity Following Cluster and Non-Cluster Suicides in Australia
Social media may play a role in the "contagion" mechanism thought to underpin suicide clusters. Our pilot case-control study presented a novel methodological approach to examining whether Facebook activity following cluster and non-cluster suicides differed. We used a scan statistic to identify suicide cluster cases occurring in spatiotemporal clusters and matched each case to 10 non-cluster control suicides. We identified the Facebook accounts o…
Perceptions of LGBQ+ youth and experts of suicide prevention video messages targeting LGBQ+ youth
Young people and experts view the videos as helpful and relevant, but identified several strategies to better tailor them to the needs of LGBTQ+ adolescents, including suicidal peers. The insights gained are useful to the increasing number of suicide prevention projects using personal narratives of coping delivered via media to help prevent suicide
The role of language in suicide reporting
Blurred world view
Previous studies suggest that distorted representations of reality on television can lead to distorted perceptions of reality among viewers. In this study, 322 individuals in Austria reported their weekly television consumption and whether they believe that there is active practice of capital punishment in Austria, which has been abolished since 1968. The more television participants watched, the more likely they mistakenly believed that there is…
Music and Suicidality
In recent years, the question whether personal suicidality is reflected in individual music preferences has been discussed. We assessed associations of preferred music genres and cumulative exposure to and rating of 50 preselected songs, including 25 suicide-related songs, with suicide risk factors in an online survey with 943 participants. Preferences for sad music were associated with high psychoticism, while fanship of music genres with predom…

Capital Punishment in Films
Since several decades there has been a lively debate on the legitimacy of the death penalty between those for and those against capital punishment (see e.g., Ellsworth & Gross, 1994; Fan, Keltner, & Wyatt, 2002; Niven, 2002). The entrance of capital punishment in the forefront of debate and consciousness at nearly all levels of society is due at least in part to the plethora of movies and books on this topic (Giles, 1995). But what is the effect …
Personal Suicidality in Reception and Identification With Suicidal Film Characters
The authors investigated the impact of suicidality on identity work during film exposure. Adults with low suicidality (n = 150) watched either It's My Party or The Fire Within, censored versions of these films not depicting the suicide, or the control film that concluded with a non-suicidal death. Baseline suicidality was measured with questionnaires before the movie. Identity work and identification with the protagonist were measured after the m…
Role of media reports in completed and prevented suicide
BACKGROUND: Media reporting of suicide has repeatedly been shown to trigger suicidal behaviour. Few studies have investigated the associations between specific media content and suicide rates. Even less is known about the possible preventive effects of suicide-related media content. AIMS: To test the hypotheses that certain media content is associated with an increase in suicide, suggesting a so-called Werther effect, and that other content is as…

The Worcester House Declaration and the Restoration of the Church of England1
This article examines the Worcester House Declaration, arguably the most serious attempt at comprehension in the Church of England since the Reformation. It describes the negotiations from the Reliquiae of Richard Baxter and from an hitherto unpublished letter of Bishop Morley which centres on the proposal of conditional ordination, which would have been unacceptable to many Presbyterians. It compares the final Declaration with the original draft…
